Accommodation Ratings
To assist with the selection of your accommodation we have created our own rating system allowing you to compare each property. These are personal ratings
offered by our people from their own experience and should therefore be used as a guide only. These ratings may alter throughout the year due to a change
of circumstances.
Moderate accommodation with a reasonable range of rooms and facilities, with rooms furnished to a comfortable standard.
Superior standard of accommodation with a wide range of rooms and facilities, and a higher standard of service.
First Class accommodation with an excellent range of facilities and services. Accommodation in this rating is considered among the best
in the country.
A half star is noted when the level of service and facilities falls between two grades. Grading accommodation can be quite subjective and generally speaking the
standard and services will be in line with the price paid. Please check with your travel consultant to ensure you get the accommodation to best suit your needs.

Put Hong Kong’s Temple Street
Night Market on your wish list
because it’s a magical mix of
traders, talent and fortune tellers.
Weave your way from vendors to
opera singers, and endless festivity.
For an eclectic mix of east meets
west, Shanghai’s Xin Tian Di Street
is a pedestrianised area replete
with galleries, cafés, boutiques and
restaurants. With original 1920s
facades, traditional China meets the
modern day, and because western
influence is rife, expect to find
big US chain stores amidst a niche
choice of Chinese designers.
If you can handle the crowds,
Nanjing Road is Shanghai’s main
shopping street. More than just a
shopping district, there are parks,
People’s Square, museums, art
galleries and opera houses. At 6
kilometres long, Nanjing Road is
also the world’s longest shopping
street - credit cards at the ready.
Nothing in Hong Kong is done by
halves, which is why the super kid-
friendly Ocean Park is not solely an
amusement park, but also a marine
mammal enclosure, oceanarium
and animal park. Boasting over 80
attractions, there are interactive
areas showcasing everything from
the North Pole to historic Hong
Kong. An impressive blend of
entertainment and education.
Hong Kong Zoo opened in 1871 and
includes the city’s lush botanical
gardens, located on the Northern
slope of Victoria Peak. Admire an
inner-city sanctuary framed by
skyscrapers and then head to the
playground and aviaries.
As with Disneylands everywhere,
kids and adults love them! Indulge
in a whimsical holiday when you
venture to Hong Kong Disneyland
or Shanghai Disneyland, or make
your mark at both… a Disney
extravaganza!

6 TIPSfor your
Hong Kong &
China Holiday
Glazed and syrup-coated, then hung
dry and roasted, Chinese cuisine
will have you salivating at the mere
thought of it, but none more so than
traditional Peking duck. Attracting
an almost cult-following, it’s best
enjoyed in Beijing - with lashings of
sweet bean sauce.
With a little nod to its British past,
Hong Kong delivers one of the best
high teas in Asia at the renowned
Peninsula Hotel. Served daily in
The Lobby, the food’s refined, the
service faultless and the cream,
well it’s Devonshire and clotted of
course.
Don’t leave China, mainland or
otherwise, without eating your own
weight in dumplings. Be sure to try
Xiaolongbao in the Jiangnan region
(and Shanghai especially) which
are unbeatable. Steamed in small
bamboo baskets they’re lightly
‘soup-filled’, so you get a good dose
of meat as well as jus.
3
Suzhou, a city west of Shanghai, is
best known for its canals, bridges
and seductive waterways. Dubbed
the ‘Venice of China’, it’s defined by
ornate gardens and Asian pagodas.
Soak up The Grand Canal and stop
for a fragrant tea beside the slow,
sedate water.
In Shanghai, the Huangpu River
divides the city into two parts: Puxi
to Pudong. You can get from one
to the other via Shanghai’s century
old ferry boats. The sweeping
skyline views are breath-taking,
and with over 40 ferry terminals
fronting both sides of the river, it’s
convenient too.
Hong Kong’s Star Ferry is famous
for shuttling passengers between
Hong Kong Island and Kowloon
for a super low fare. In operation
since 1898, the prices have barely
changed since. Come nightfall,
board the Star Ferry for knockout
views of Victoria Harbour.
Hutongs are a type of alleyway
typical to northern China, and
particularly Beijing. They’re also the
best way to experience ‘Old Beijing’
at its traditional best. A relic that
time forgot, get lost in a China built
centuries past, amongst crooked
old houses and children chasing
rickshaws down the street.
From traditional Asia to a street
influenced by a very western
concept: Las Vegas, Macau’s Cotai
Strip boasts multiple hotel-casinos
all lining the Cotai section of Macau.
As glitzy as its US cousin, the lights
never go out here.
And then there’s Hong Kong come
nightfall. If you consider this city
busy by day, it really revs it up a
gear from dusk. There’s a distinct
‘work-hard, play-hard’ ethic here,
and tourists are fully encouraged
to partake. Dine, dance or simply
enjoy the raucous ambience, but
sleep is not an option.
Is there any better backdrop than
Shanghai’s Oriental Pearl and the
World Financial Centre? Especially
at night when the entire Lujiazui
skyline sparkles like an enormous
fairground. Make a beeline for the
Bund’s Bar Rouge, with its large
terrace overlooking the best of
it, while the dazzling views from
Hyatt’s VUE bar are only matched
by an equally stunning décor.
In Hong Kong you’ll want to enjoy
incredible 360-degree views of
Victoria Harbour from the 100th
floor of Hong Kong’s tallest building
- the International Commerce
Centre (ICC).
While in Shanghai, Jin Mau’s Cloud
9 Bar, part of the Grand Hyatt
Shanghai, is located on the 87th
floor and is one of the highest bars
in the world. Watch as the clouds
pass before your eyes, and drinks.

Hong Kong is literally a living fusion of traditional Eastern and Western cultures.
It’s fast paced with a dazzling array of high rise buildings, neon lights and billboards.
Split into two by the harbour, Hong Kong has two main regions – Kowloon and Hong
Kong Island.
For such a compact island, Hong Kong Island carries plenty of punch as a holiday
destination. With the many shopping options, restaurants and bars around the
Central district and a journey to the Peak for a bird’s eye view of the island – and
beyond. Venture to Stanley Markets, marvel over the temples at Aberdeen or dine
on seafood at Repulse Bay.
A tourist hot spot, Kowloon’s famous Nathan Road and its ‘Golden Mile’ are a
magnet for bargain hunting shoppers and diners. Tsim Sha Tsui is one of Hong
Kong’s major entertainment areas, popular both during the day and after dark. Visit
the Hong Kong Museum of Art and the Hong Kong Space Museum before venturing
to the Peninsula for its world renowned High Tea.
While she feels like a cosmopolitan city, under her contemporary exterior is a
traditional Chinese lady at heart. Peer down from Victoria Peak, wind your way
through the streets of Mongkok, bag a bargain at the markets, and without a doubt
the harbour is the centrepiece, with its dazzling skyline and nightly ‘Symphony of
the Lights’ fireworks and laser light extravaganza.

of Lights’ which involves more than 40 buildings on both
sides of the harbour. Recognised in the Guinness World
Records as the world’s largest permanent light and sound
show, there are laser beams and searchlights that perform
an unforgettable light spectacle synchronised to music.
Hullett House – Dine at the prized Loong Toh Yuen
Cantonese restaurant. The highly acclaimed chef scours
the markets for new tastes and ingredients, adding his own
contemporary interpretation to Cantonese cuisine.
Giant Buddha – No trip to Hong Kong would be complete
without a visit to the Giant Buddha which sits serenely atop
Ngong Ping plateau amid the spectacular mountain scenery
of Lantau Island. Climb more than 200 steps or take the
Ngong Ping 360 cableway from Tung Chung to the culturally
themed village.
Ladies’ Market – Featuring over 100 stalls of bargain
clothing, accessories and souvenirs and stretching one
kilometre. Be sure to practice your haggling skills to bag the
best bargain.
Lan Kwai Fong – One of Hong Kong’s most popular
nightlife hot spots and home to over 90 restaurants and
bars. Hosting carnivals and celebrations throughout the
year, this area comes alive.
Harbour Cruise – Victoria Harbour is Hong Kong’s heart,
so to catch the real essence jump onboard a harbour cruise.
From a hop on hop off tour, to sunset cruises, experience

Macau
Located just a 55 minute Turbojet ride from
Hong Kong, on the western side of the Pearl
River Delta. Featuring 25 UNESCO Heritage
sites Macau sure is something special. Split
into two separate islands connected by three
bridges, Macau Peninsula itself and the islands
of Taipa and Coloane now connected by the
reclaimed land of Cotai. Originally settled
by the Portuguese, you’ll see their influence
everywhere, from the street names, to classic
Mediterranean architecture and fantastic
food. As you wander down the Cotai Strip past
replicas of the Venetian, MGM and Wynn, you’ll
truly understand just how unique Macau has
become, offering a preserved history alongside
modern day.
Our favourite things to see and do
Cotai Strip – This is where you will find giant precincts like the City of
Dreams, home to the Crown, Grand Hyatt and Hard Rock Macau; the 3000
suite Venetian Hotel and Resort Macao, Four Seasons Macao, and Galaxy
Mega Resort, which includes leading hotel brands Okura and Banyan Tree
and is home to the world’s largest wave pool! If a bit of pampering is your
holiday style, Macau is home to many internationally recognised day spas,
at all major resorts.
City of Dreams – Don’t miss the must-see show ‘The House of Dancing
Water’ – the world’s largest water extravaganza. This breath-taking show
is staged in the purpose-built Dancing Water Theater which features
approximately 2000 seats. This state-of-the-art theatre provides the setting
for an epic love story and spectacular journey through time, showcasing
dazzling costumes, special effects and record breaking acts never seen
before in theatre.
Macanese Cuisine – Famous on the island are the Macanese tarts.
These egg tarts are a justifiable dessert to a wonderful menu, which were
introduced to the island by the Portuguese.
Barra Square, Lilau Square and Senado Square – Are among a
host of fascinating districts like the iconic Ruins of St Paul’s, once the largest
Catholic Church in Asia. Also arousing interest are the Chinese treasures
of Na Tcha Temple, Lou Kau Mansion and the much photographed A-Ma
Temple on the peninsula’s waterfront.
Macau Tower – Home to one of the highest bungy jumps in the world
and AJ Hackett recreation facilities, it also has a range of dining outlets,
shops and the observation deck.
Pedicab Ride – Once a symbol of Macau, these are now used for visitors
to slowly stroll in this World Heritage city. Head to the Pedicab Station at

After being a world power centuries ago then closing their doors to outside
influences, China has opened itself up again and is taking its place preening on the
world stage.
Diverse, exotic and mysterious, China is the world’s most populous country with a
rich culture stretching back at least 4000 years. China is as unique as it is eclectic,
from the hustle and bustle of huge cities such as Shanghai and Beijing, to the quiet
introspection of the monasteries and temples. Even the cuisine varies dramatically
from one province to another.
While cities such as Beijing and Shanghai are certainly must-see destinations, you
can only truly appreciate this huge nation if you explore the countryside and see
the contrasts it has to offer.
The once imperial capital of 11 dynasties, Xian, is a haven of archaeological
wonders. It is home to the Terracotta Warriors, the famed life sized tomb guards of
Emperor Qin Si Huang and the only city in China that still has its ancient city wall
surrounding it.
Its resurgence as an economic powerhouse has brought a new freedom and new
opportunity for foreigners to explore this fascinating country. You can return time
and time again and always find something new to fascinate you.

Our favourite things to see and do
The Bund – The famous Shanghai waterfront, regarded as
the symbol of Shanghai for hundreds of years, is a celebration
of China’s diversity. The most attractive sight on the west
side are the 26 various buildings of different architectural
styles including Gothic, Baroque, Romanesque, Classicism
and Renaissance. Not what you’d expect in China.
Giant Pandas – How can you resist the beautiful faces
of China’s oldest inhabitants? These cuddly bears are the
national emblem of China and their protection is a top
priority for China. The Chengdu Panda Research Base is
home to 80 pandas and set up to resemble their natural
surroundings of their original home in north Sichuan. You
can even cuddle a baby panda during your visit so don’t
miss this highlight.
The Great Wall of China – Stretching almost 9000
kilometres long from the Gobi Desert in the west to the
Bohai Sea in the east, this spectacular wall is one of China’s
most famous attractions. Original construction began more
than 2000 years ago to protect China from the nomad threat
in the north, since then the Great Wall has been rebuilt and
maintained and the majority of the existing wall is from the
Ming Dynasty. The Wall is accessible from many different
sections. Head to the Mutianyu or Juyongguan sections
instead of Badaling as they are far less crowded. All three
sections are in close proximity to Beijing.
Li River – Connecting the two beautifully picturesque
spots of Guilin and Yangshuo and lined with tranquil blue
waters, natural landscapes and views to die for. Highlights
along the river include Elephant Trunk Mountain, a hill
that resembles an elephant drinking water from the river
and Seven Star Park, covering more than 120 hectares and
featuring seven peaks.

  • 6. 2 Put Hong Kong’s Temple Street Night Market on your wish list because it’s a magical mix of traders, talent and fortune tellers. Weave your way from vendors to opera singers, and endless festivity. For an eclectic mix of east meets west, Shanghai’s Xin Tian Di Street is a pedestrianised area replete with galleries, cafés, boutiques and restaurants. With original 1920s facades, traditional China meets the modern day, and because western influence is rife, expect to find big US chain stores amidst a niche choice of Chinese designers. If you can handle the crowds, Nanjing Road is Shanghai’s main shopping street. More than just a shopping district, there are parks, People’s Square, museums, art galleries and opera houses. At 6 kilometres long, Nanjing Road is also the world’s longest shopping street - credit cards at the ready. Nothing in Hong Kong is done by halves, which is why the super kid- friendly Ocean Park is not solely an amusement park, but also a marine mammal enclosure, oceanarium and animal park. Boasting over 80 attractions, there are interactive areas showcasing everything from the North Pole to historic Hong Kong. An impressive blend of entertainment and education. Hong Kong Zoo opened in 1871 and includes the city’s lush botanical gardens, located on the Northern slope of Victoria Peak. Admire an inner-city sanctuary framed by skyscrapers and then head to the playground and aviaries. As with Disneylands everywhere, kids and adults love them! Indulge in a whimsical holiday when you venture to Hong Kong Disneyland or Shanghai Disneyland, or make your mark at both… a Disney extravaganza! Food glorious food Hit the shops For the kid in all of us 6 TIPSfor your Hong Kong & China Holiday Glazed and syrup-coated, then hung dry and roasted, Chinese cuisine will have you salivating at the mere thought of it, but none more so than traditional Peking duck. Attracting an almost cult-following, it’s best enjoyed in Beijing - with lashings of sweet bean sauce. With a little nod to its British past, Hong Kong delivers one of the best high teas in Asia at the renowned Peninsula Hotel. Served daily in The Lobby, the food’s refined, the service faultless and the cream, well it’s Devonshire and clotted of course. Don’t leave China, mainland or otherwise, without eating your own weight in dumplings. Be sure to try Xiaolongbao in the Jiangnan region (and Shanghai especially) which are unbeatable. Steamed in small bamboo baskets they’re lightly ‘soup-filled’, so you get a good dose of meat as well as jus.
  • 7. 3 Suzhou, a city west of Shanghai, is best known for its canals, bridges and seductive waterways. Dubbed the ‘Venice of China’, it’s defined by ornate gardens and Asian pagodas. Soak up The Grand Canal and stop for a fragrant tea beside the slow, sedate water. In Shanghai, the Huangpu River divides the city into two parts: Puxi to Pudong. You can get from one to the other via Shanghai’s century old ferry boats. The sweeping skyline views are breath-taking, and with over 40 ferry terminals fronting both sides of the river, it’s convenient too. Hong Kong’s Star Ferry is famous for shuttling passengers between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon for a super low fare. In operation since 1898, the prices have barely changed since. Come nightfall, board the Star Ferry for knockout views of Victoria Harbour. Hutongs are a type of alleyway typical to northern China, and particularly Beijing. They’re also the best way to experience ‘Old Beijing’ at its traditional best. A relic that time forgot, get lost in a China built centuries past, amongst crooked old houses and children chasing rickshaws down the street. From traditional Asia to a street influenced by a very western concept: Las Vegas, Macau’s Cotai Strip boasts multiple hotel-casinos all lining the Cotai section of Macau. As glitzy as its US cousin, the lights never go out here. And then there’s Hong Kong come nightfall. If you consider this city busy by day, it really revs it up a gear from dusk. There’s a distinct ‘work-hard, play-hard’ ethic here, and tourists are fully encouraged to partake. Dine, dance or simply enjoy the raucous ambience, but sleep is not an option. Is there any better backdrop than Shanghai’s Oriental Pearl and the World Financial Centre? Especially at night when the entire Lujiazui skyline sparkles like an enormous fairground. Make a beeline for the Bund’s Bar Rouge, with its large terrace overlooking the best of it, while the dazzling views from Hyatt’s VUE bar are only matched by an equally stunning décor. In Hong Kong you’ll want to enjoy incredible 360-degree views of Victoria Harbour from the 100th floor of Hong Kong’s tallest building - the International Commerce Centre (ICC). While in Shanghai, Jin Mau’s Cloud 9 Bar, part of the Grand Hyatt Shanghai, is located on the 87th floor and is one of the highest bars in the world. Watch as the clouds pass before your eyes, and drinks. View from the top Explore the waterways Hit the streets
  • 8. 4 Hong Kong is literally a living fusion of traditional Eastern and Western cultures. It’s fast paced with a dazzling array of high rise buildings, neon lights and billboards. Split into two by the harbour, Hong Kong has two main regions – Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. For such a compact island, Hong Kong Island carries plenty of punch as a holiday destination. With the many shopping options, restaurants and bars around the Central district and a journey to the Peak for a bird’s eye view of the island – and beyond. Venture to Stanley Markets, marvel over the temples at Aberdeen or dine on seafood at Repulse Bay. A tourist hot spot, Kowloon’s famous Nathan Road and its ‘Golden Mile’ are a magnet for bargain hunting shoppers and diners. Tsim Sha Tsui is one of Hong Kong’s major entertainment areas, popular both during the day and after dark. Visit the Hong Kong Museum of Art and the Hong Kong Space Museum before venturing to the Peninsula for its world renowned High Tea. While she feels like a cosmopolitan city, under her contemporary exterior is a traditional Chinese lady at heart. Peer down from Victoria Peak, wind your way through the streets of Mongkok, bag a bargain at the markets, and without a doubt the harbour is the centrepiece, with its dazzling skyline and nightly ‘Symphony of the Lights’ fireworks and laser light extravaganza. Experience Hong Kong
  • 9. 5 CHINA NEW TERRITORIES LANTAU ISLAND HONG KONG ISLAND KOWLOON Hong Kong International Airport Hong Kong Disneyland Lamma Island Tsim Sha Tsui Stanley Ocean Park Ngong Ping SOUTH CHINA SEA Causeway Bay12 Our favourite things to see and do Catch the Tram up to the Peak – Enjoy the classic Hong Kong tradition and take in some of the best views across the city. In the funicular, try to sit on the right hand side for the best views on the way up. Harbour Light Show – Victoria Harbour is dazzling all on its own, but each night the city puts on a ‘Symphony of Lights’ which involves more than 40 buildings on both sides of the harbour. Recognised in the Guinness World Records as the world’s largest permanent light and sound show, there are laser beams and searchlights that perform an unforgettable light spectacle synchronised to music. Hullett House – Dine at the prized Loong Toh Yuen Cantonese restaurant. The highly acclaimed chef scours the markets for new tastes and ingredients, adding his own contemporary interpretation to Cantonese cuisine. Giant Buddha – No trip to Hong Kong would be complete without a visit to the Giant Buddha which sits serenely atop Ngong Ping plateau amid the spectacular mountain scenery of Lantau Island. Climb more than 200 steps or take the Ngong Ping 360 cableway from Tung Chung to the culturally themed village. Ladies’ Market – Featuring over 100 stalls of bargain clothing, accessories and souvenirs and stretching one kilometre. Be sure to practice your haggling skills to bag the best bargain.

  • 18. 14 After being a world power centuries ago then closing their doors to outside influences, China has opened itself up again and is taking its place preening on the world stage. Diverse, exotic and mysterious, China is the world’s most populous country with a rich culture stretching back at least 4000 years. China is as unique as it is eclectic, from the hustle and bustle of huge cities such as Shanghai and Beijing, to the quiet introspection of the monasteries and temples. Even the cuisine varies dramatically from one province to another. While cities such as Beijing and Shanghai are certainly must-see destinations, you can only truly appreciate this huge nation if you explore the countryside and see the contrasts it has to offer. The once imperial capital of 11 dynasties, Xian, is a haven of archaeological wonders. It is home to the Terracotta Warriors, the famed life sized tomb guards of Emperor Qin Si Huang and the only city in China that still has its ancient city wall surrounding it. Its resurgence as an economic powerhouse has brought a new freedom and new opportunity for foreigners to explore this fascinating country. You can return time and time again and always find something new to fascinate you. Experience China
